    Would We Be Better Off Without God And Religion?

    Religion been the cause of wars, mayhem and abuse throughout the centuries. People try to impose their view of the deity on others with disastrous results, I wonder if human beings would have been better off if people had not ever thought of the God concept?

    What Is Blasphemy?

    Some people seem to have odd odeas on what constitutes blasephemy. I have been accused of it on a number of occasions for challenging concepts of God. :D I reckon the old man in the sky can take care of himself, what do others think?

    What Do You Want From Your Vision of God?

    We all have very different perceptions of God. Some want a judgemental father figure, I want a friend of equal status to myself.

    Should Our Idea Of God Evolve?

    It seems strange to me that God should be a stuck in a centuries old time warp instead of evolving and keeping pace with modern thinking. The ancients wrote about God from their perspective which was pre-science and technology. Surely our idea of God should evolve too?

    New Disease?

    My daughter brought our eldest grandson (nearly 4)over this evening so that I could run my expert eye over his spots that have just started emerging. "Have I got chicken nuggets, Granny?" he asked. :D Unfortunately I am almost certain that he has chickenpox!

    Guilt?

    It would appear to me that many people seem to feel so guilty about petty things in their lives. I am not talking about wrong doings that hurt others, but silly thing like thinking sensual thoughts or forgetting to pray or read their Bible etc. Guilt is corrosive, in my opinion, and I have got...

    'White' Lies!

    Some people believe that all lies are wrong, I don't. I am more than happy to tell a lie if it is going to spare a person pain. If someone asks me if I like their dress/hairdo, for instance, I am not going to say it is terrible! I often tell my Mum (81) things she wants to hear rather than what...

    Did God 'Rape' Mary?

    If you believe the Biblcial account of Mary's pregnancy, it would appear that God caused her to be pregnant, however that was achieved, without her prior consent, which I don't think was right! I suspect though, that Mary became pregnant in the normal way and Joseph did the decent thing...

    Taking The Waiting Out Of Wanting!

    It seems to me where some kids are concerned every day is Christmas Day! They only have to pipe up, "I WANT", and over indulgent parents rush to get it for them. So when Christmas does come these kids can't have the same amount of excitement and anticipation as I had as a child, when sizeable...

    The 'Peace'

    Do others find the 'Peace' embarrassing? I must admit I dislike it intensely. It is sometimes used an as excuse for men having a kiss and a grope of a nubile female! I remember one chap practically giving me a french kiss when I was younger. He was old enough to be my grandfather and had bad...

    Amusing Slogan!

    I saw this slogan written on the back of a bus yesterday, and it made me giggle. 'Don't let salads take over, get your fish and chips at Eddie's.'

    The 'Joys' Of Taking Young Children To Church!

    Together with our youngest daughter, son-in-law and two-year-old grandson, my husband, son and myself attended our Anglican Priest daughter's 'Nine Lessons and Carols' in Shrewsbury UK. Considering how many churchs there are in that town vying for trade, they had a very good turn out, 200+. (...

    Live And Let Live

    I am all for a policy of live and let live where people's lives and religious practice is concerned, providing of course that it is not hurting others. So many fundamentalists, in particular, but not exclusively, seem to have to tell others how they should believe and behave, as if it was any...

    Visions and Miracles!

    We own a field in North Wales, UK where in 1997 visions of the Virgin Mary were reported by an Irish couple on a walking tour of our part of Wales. They claimed that they had been cured of their ailments! By June of 1997 our narrow country lane resembled a mini Lourdes, with 'pilgrims' coming...

    Christmas Letters?

    How many of you include a Christmas letter with your cards telling people about your exploits during the year? We send one to people with whom we have not had contact in the last 12 months, but try to keep it newsy, only the highlights about our immediate family, and no more than one side of...

    I Have A Confession To Make!

    To my shame I have to admit that at one time I was pretty prejudiced against homosexuals! However, one night, a few years ago, I had a dream and I was being strongly urged by my 'divine spark' aka God, to stand beside them when they were being torn apart by the rabid fundies or anyone else!!! I...

    Too Many sins!!!!

    I am amazed by what some people consider 'sin'. Homosexuality, over eating, drinking moderately, women dressing in trousers (pants), women having cropped hair and so many, many more. Good grief there are genuine problems in this world that need addressing without dredging up 'sins' that to most...

    The Joy Of Sex!

    If we believe that we are created by God, then he created us as sexual beings, so why do some people get so screwed up about the topic? Consensual sex between adults, gay or straight is a joy not something nasty or perverse. If we are fortunate enough to love and be loved we should celebrate the...

    One God Too Many?

    Islam, Judaism and Christianity all have a common route and believe in one God. Judging by some of the ghastly crimes committed in the name of that God by all three religions, one could be forgiven for thinking that God is one God too many!
